CYBERCRIME UNDER WATCH: PNP ARRESTS 18, FILES 49 CASES

The Philippine National Police (PNP), through its Anti-Cybercrime Group (PNP ACG), turned digital leads into concrete police action, resulting in the arrest of 18 individuals and the filing of 49 cases in nationwide operations conducted from August 7 to 13, 2026.

Of those arrested, seven were apprehended through the implementation of warrants of arrest, while 11 were arrested in entrapment operations. The cases and arrests resulted from coordinated efforts of the PNP ACG’s operating units and regional teams across the country.

Chief PNP Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. said the results underscore the importance of keeping pace with the changing nature of crime, particularly as more activities move into the digital space.

“Online crime can happen behind a screen, but the harm is real. We continue to improve our capability to trace, verify, and act on information. Ang mahalaga, mabilis ang police response pero maingat din sa bawat hakbang, para matibay ang kaso at napoprotektahan ang publiko,” PGen Nartatez said.

The operations form part of the PNP’s Focused Agenda, particularly under Enhanced Managing Police Operations, strengthening responsive and intelligence-supported action against emerging threats, including those online. This also supports the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr. in advancing public safety.

The PNP ACG reminds the public to stay vigilant in online transactions, verify information before sharing or acting on it, and report suspected cybercrime through proper authorities.

As threats evolve, the PNP remains committed to delivering “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman,” with capable, responsible, and responsive policing both on the streets and in the digital space.

PNP INTERCEPTS P18.29-MILLION TO***CO SHIPMENT IN LANAO DEL SUR

Four individuals were arrested after police intercepted two vehicles carrying an estimated P15.29 million worth of undocumented to***co products in Barangay Matampay, Marantao, Lanao del Sur, early Friday.

The operation, conducted from 4:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m., was carried out by the Criminal Investigation and Detection Group (CIDG) Lanao del Sur Provincial Field Unit and Marantao Municipal Police Station, in coordination with the Integrated Provincial Health Office. It followed information received by authorities regarding the alleged unlawful transport of to***co products reportedly originating from Picong and bound for Maguing, Lanao del Sur.

Police recovered 556 master cases of ci******es, along with two vehicles reportedly used to transport the shipment and other pieces of evidence. The recovered items have an estimated overall value of P18.29 million, including the to***co products valued at approximately P15.29 million.

The arrested individuals, aged 20 to 46, were reportedly serving as drivers and helpers. They were informed of the reason for their arrest and apprised of their constitutional rights before being brought to the CIDG Lanao del Sur office for documentation and proper disposition.

Initial examination showed that the recovered to***co products appeared not to comply with requirements under Republic Act No. 10643, or the Graphic Health Warnings Law, and other applicable laws. The case remains subject to further investigation and appropriate legal proceedings.

Chief, PNP Police General Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr. emphasized that enforcement against unlawful trade must be matched by proper procedures and respect for due process.

“We understand that these operations affect more than just the people involved. There are legitimate businesses, consumers, and the country’s economy to consider. Kaya kailangan nating maging alerto, pero at the same time, fair and careful in carrying out our responsibilities,” PGen Nartatez said.

The operation is part of the PNP’s Focused Agenda under Enhanced Managing Police Operations (EMPO), which promotes coordinated and intelligence-supported police action. It also contributes to the administration of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr.’s efforts to protect legitimate economic activities and strengthen enforcement against unlawful trade.

The PNP continues to encourage the public to report information on suspected unlawful activities through proper channels and assures that such reports will be handled in accordance with law and due process, consistent with its commitment to “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.”

NATIONAL MOST WANTED WITH ₱145K BOUNTY LINKED TO ISULAN BOMBING, MURDER ARRESTED

The Philippine National Police, under the command of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., has arrested a National Most Wanted Person with a ₱145K bounty who was linked to the Isulan bombing and two separate murder cases in Sultan Kudarat, delivering a major breakthrough in the PNP’s campaign against individuals wanted for the most serious and heinous crimes.

The 45-year-old male suspect, known by the alias “Tarzan/Tarsan,” was arrested on August 21, 2026, in Barangay Udtong, Lambayong, Sultan Kudarat, following intelligence developed by personnel of the PNP Intelligence Group in General Santos City and acted upon by the Lambayong Municipal Police Station and Sultan Kudarat Police Provincial Office.

The arrest was carried out through warrants for violation of Republic Act No. 11479, or the Anti-Terrorism Act of 2020, and two counts of Murder, all with no bail recommended. The anti-terrorism case stemmed from the April 17, 2023 bombing at the Isulan Integrated Public Terminal in Barangay Kalawag 2, Isulan, Sultan Kudarat, which injured several individuals, including three minors aged 15, 14, and 13, and other victims aged 56, 60, 25, and 57.

The suspect was likewise identified as among those linked to the killing of a 60-year-old BPAT member in Lambayong on July 17, 2021, and the killing of a 41-year-old BPAT member in the same municipality on April 7, 2021.

During the service of the warrants, the suspect resisted arrest and engaged law enforcement personnel in a brief armed confrontation. He sustained a gunshot wound to his left knee and was immediately brought to a medical facility in Lambayong for treatment.

Recovered from his possession was one NORINCO caliber 9mm pistol, with its chamber loaded and one magazine containing three live ammunition, along with three fired cartridge casings believed to be from a caliber 9mm firearm.

The suspect was listed among the National Most Wanted Persons covered by DILG Memorandum Circulars dated July 31, 2026, with a ₱145,000.00 monetary reward for information leading to his arrest.

“Acts of terrorism and murder strike at the very foundation of public safety and human life. Those who stand accused of such grave offenses cannot expect to remain beyond the reach of the law—the PNP will find them, arrest them, and bring them before the courts,” PGEN Nartatez said.

“Ang terorismo at pagkitil ng buhay ay kabilang sa pinakamabibigat at pinakamapanganib na krimen. Walang lugar sa lipunan ang mga taong sangkot sa ganitong karumal-dumal na gawain—sisiguraduhin nating haharap sila sa batas at mananagot sa kanilang mga ginawa,” he added.

The accomplishment advances the PNP Focused Agenda, particularly its key priority on Enhanced Managing Police Operations through intelligence-led efforts to apprehend wanted persons.

As the PNP strengthens its campaign against fugitives linked to terrorism and other heinous crimes under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it assures the public of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.”

The Philippine National Police, under the leadership of PNP Chief PGEN Jose Melencio C. Nartatez Jr., scored a major breakthrough against illegal mining with the arrest of three individuals and the seizure of approximately P13.16 million worth of mining equipment and alleged mineral ores on Wednesday in Iligan City.

The operation was conducted by the Police Regional Office 10 through its operating units, in partnership with DENR-CENRO Iligan and Task Force Kinaiyahan of the Local Government Unit of Iligan, with support from other PNP units and in coordination with Iligan City Police Office Police Station 6, on August 19, 2026, in Sitio Binasan, Barangay Rogongon, Iligan City.

Arrested were “Rom,” 35; “Nel,” 45; and “Andoy,” 61, all males and residents of Cagayan de Oro City. The operation stemmed from information provided by a confidential informant regarding alleged illegal mining activities in the area, prompting authorities and partner government agencies to conduct OPLAN KALIKASAN, an operation against illegal mining.

Upon reaching the area, operating personnel found several individuals allegedly engaged in illegal mining. While some fled, the three suspects were apprehended and brought into custody.

Seized were one heavy-duty backhoe, one crawler excavator, one fire hose, two blue plastic hoses, one bilingan, one improvised separator, eight water pumps of various brands, and one-half sack of alleged mineral ores, with a total estimated value of P13,160,000.00. The inventory was conducted in an orderly manner in the presence of DENR-CENRO Iligan forest rangers and barangay officials.

The arrested individuals and confiscated evidence were brought to the CIDG Iligan City Field Unit Office for proper disposition. A case for violation of Presidential Decree No. 705, or the Revised Forestry Code of the Philippines, is being prepared for inquest filing before the Office of the City Prosecutor of Iligan City.

PGEN Nartatez emphasized that the PNP will remain firm in protecting the country’s natural resources and holding accountable those who exploit them through unlawful activities.

“Illegal mining will not be allowed to undermine our laws and damage our natural resources. We will act on credible information and pursue those who violate the law,” the PNP Chief said.

He added: “Hindi natin hahayaang abusuhin ang ating likas na yaman. Mananagot sa batas ang sinumang mapatunayang sangkot sa ilegal na pagmimina.”

The operation supports the PNP Focused Agenda, a framework for organizational transformation that strengthens police operations, particularly through the key priority of Enhanced Managing Police Operations and intelligence-driven action against unlawful activities.

As the PNP strengthens its campaign against activities that threaten the environment and violate Philippine laws under the directive of President Ferdinand R. Marcos Jr., it assures the public of “Bagong PNP para sa Bagong Pilipinas: Serbisyong Mabilis, Tapat, at Nararamdaman.”
